"Jimmy." Benjamin raised his head and looked at James in the video, "I know that you are anxious, and you are kindhearted, but..."
"But what?"
"Don't you think it's not good for you to make a judgment based on your own guess and such a little thing?"
James said directly, "Why? This is something about Isaac!"
"That's not what I mean." Benjamin sighed, "You said that you didn't hide the fact that Elizabeth was pregnant, and you didn't spread it. But it didn't mean that no one else knew about it."
Benjamin thought for a moment and added, "There is no signature on the box indeed, but maybe it was just because that person forgot to write his name. Naturally, I also hope that Adele is still alive. In that case, Isaac will feel better. But have you thought about a question?"
"What?" James asked.
"If Adele is still alive, why didn't she show up? Maybe what you analyzed makes sense. After all, she is afraid of Maxwell. But think about it. She didn't bring anything with her when she left. If she wanted to live outside, do you think it would be a very simple thing? Moreover, even if she is afraid of Maxwell, what about Mrs. Miranda? Doesn't she want to see her?"
"Besides, even if she really wants to come back on the day of your wedding, since she is afraid of Maxwell, naturally she could guess that Maxwell would probably attend your wedding. But why did she go there?"
"What's more, if she is really alive, what will she think about Isaac? Will she love Isaac or hate him? You're not sure whether she dares or wants to see Issac or not."
James was silent for two seconds before he said, "Ben, do you mean that... my guess is wrong?"
"I think so."
"I had this idea when I thought of everything happened today, didn't I? Is this my fault?"
"It's not your fault. I know you're worried about Isaac. Of course, if Adele is really alive, it's naturally a good thing."
"Then..." James asked Benjamin, "Do you think what I mentioned is possible? Could Adele really be alive?
"Jimmy, you have to accept the fact."
James was silent. After a long time, he said, "I know. You are right. But... I don't think it's so coincidental."
He received such a gift without signature, and Isaac happened to see a girl who was similar to Adele...
"What do you want?" Benjamin asked, "Do you want to check the surveillance videos?"
After James heard Benjamin's words, his excitement, which had just risen in his heart, seemed to have faded a little. But he felt that he must do something, otherwise, he would think about it all the time.
"It won't waste much time anyway. What do you think?"
Benjamin nodded, "Alright."
"Then... why don't we go there tomorrow?"
"Okay." Benjamin replied, "I have to hold a meeting tomorrow morning, and I'll go there after that."
"No problem!" James laughed, "That's a deal. I have to send Elizabeth to my mom's house first, and then I will come to find you. Let's go there together."
Although Evelyn had known that it was Lawrence when she saw the caller ID, she was somewhat amazed when she heard his voice.
"Not yet." She said honestly, "I'm going to sleep."
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Asked Lawrence.
"No." Evelyn answered, "Do you... have anything to say?"
Lawrence seemed to have something on his mind. Hearing this, Lawrence waited for a few seconds before saying, "Evelyn, can't I call you if I have nothing to say?"
"No, I..." Evelyn thought for a moment, "I just thought you were still on a business trip."
"I'm not busy all the time." Lawrence paused and then said with hesitation, "Evelyn...."
"What?"
"This time... my uncle let me be responsible for a very big project. I told you about it last time. This is the first time that I have taken over such an important project. Maybe... I will stay here for a long time before I go back."
It seemed that Lawrence was reporting his life to the people he loved.
Evelyn pursed her lips. She didn't reject this feeling, but she wouldn't feel happy when she heard it.
"I know. Didn't you tell me about it a few days ago? So... are you used to living there? Can you deal with the work well?"
